Franny's interest in Animals and animal sounds made us (mostly Paul) think that it was time for her to experience the real deal, so we went to Hogle Zoo last Fri. The weather was perfect and we had a nice day. After the zoo we went to the "This is the place" monument for like 3 minutes (exciting) and then to dinner with Marilyn, Bob, Christine, Spencer and his parents before they went to "Wicked". Jealous. I'm mentioning our dinner because when the crowd dispersed, Paul, Franny and I went and got dessert crepes and the were AWESOME. It was this place on 4th S and 7th E in SLC called Lunaberry. So good.
The exhibit we spent the most time at was the carousel. I guess those animals going around and around were more exciting than the sleeping animals. At every other exhibit, Franny kept making the sign for "sleeping".
We had Easter at Leah's house with Adria's, hers, Melissa's, mine and now, Julia's families. (I don't know why this is underlined) The meal was great. Luckily, the storms subsided on Sunday for everyone to have fun outside.
Here are the kids getting ready to run...
We practiced hiding and finding eggs on Saturday, so she kind of got it.
Here are the "babies" sizing up each other's loot
Here are all the cousins sans Elle and Seb in Baltimore. But we did get to talk to Gabe and Seb via web cam for a while. Super fun!
I don't have any footage, but somehow, after the hunt, we all wanted to see how well we would fair at stunting. Jake and his fiance, Tori, took turns doing basket tosses with the grand kids. I thought it didn't look too hard, so I decided to try. I would've made it, except Tori and I started laughing so hard and I almost wet myself (and the stunters). I haven't laughed that hard in a while. Mostly because Melissa was trying to do cartwheels, round-offs, and a back bend.
Franny the Easter Bunny
We had another egg hunt with Franny's cousins, Ada and Ridley (Christine's kids) on Monday night. It was less chaotic.
Franny and Ridley had a fun time following Ada around and copying her.
And last but not least, here is my 5 month shot of baby Holland. I should've posted this ages ago, but I took this right after Micah was born, so I forgot about it. I'll have another one next week because I'll be 6 months!

Amelia, you look so pretty!
Everything sounds and looks so fun. I miss Hogle zoo...we used to live right there! I'm so glad Franny got to go see the animals. The egg hunts look fun too...the cousins look so cute together. :)
How did your rolls turn out?
(sorry about the deleted comment, I had a typo)
Looks like you had a fun Easter! Thanks for the post. Loved seeing Franny having fun. I agree, you look beautiful, Amelia!
so maybe next year we will do an easter egg hunt- we are party poopers!
I hate it when it starts underlining. I don't know why it does it.
I love Lunaberry.
Uh, I am pretty sure it was a good thing that a pregnant girl did not do the basket toss.
Fun pics!
Yes I finally updated!! You look great, are you as excited for August as I am?
Cute zoo pics. I enjoy seeing Franny with both sets of cousins, too.
Franny is such a cute little easter bunny! ANd Holland is so handsome:)
Cute pics--looks like a fun weekend! And thanks for the heads up on Lunaberry. I'll have to try it sometime.

trying to find your email but i don't have it! you look so good, amelia! i had to laugh at the last comment you put on my blog...my life is far from perfect and i don't get to run everyday (only 4 days on then 4 days off with matt's work), never look or feel like i just got out of a salon, and am dumb enough to host an event at my house so i feel like i have to pull things together on a deadline. (that's where the drapes come in...) i'm tired and need to get back to reading and doing meaningful things with the kids.
send me an email (it's on my blog) so i can stay in better touch!
oh--i love your short hair! you look great!
